New Agenda on Sunday. is out. Sunday, May. 05, 2019

Good morning everyone.

A bright, mainly sunny Bank Holiday, invites all of us, well mainly all, down to the beach for a large ice cream with a flake in the top. As it happens, thousands of other people from the towns or other places all have the same idea so it might be a little crowded. It may be an idea to have the large cod and chips with mushy peas washed down with a very cold coke first, while you wait for the queue at the ice cream kiosk to go down a bit.

Labour should have gained seats at the local elections. As it happens we had a net loss of 82 seats but gained 6 councils.

Not a very good night for the Labour party, but not the "drubbing" that the media are trying to spin it into.

Tom Watson has clearly crossed the line with this latest attention seeking tantrum. Watson who has been associated with the usual suspects who have been trying to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn since he was first elected to the leadership, has become more erratic over recent months and now "storms out of a meeting". He is out of control and should immediately be sacked. He is just a disruptive figure in the Shadow Cabinet and still holds his own leadership ambitions. He should be sacked before he causes even greater damage.

I shall require a great deal of convincing that the economic collapse in Venezuela and the present conditions, have nothing to do with the crippling and punitive economic sanctions applied by the United States. The sanctions were applied because the Americans did not like the political system of Venezuela and because they wish to bring about regime change. The action of the United States against Venezuela have crippled the country and brought great hardship to the people. The bully boy USA seems to have triumphed

again. Shame on America and those who support their actions.

Express Reporting that BBC WEATHER presenter Carol Kirkwood forecast “wintry showers” for parts of the UK on Bank Holiday Monday, with temperatures “below par” for the time of year. It is not snowing yet so enjoy the fish, chips and mushy peas followed by the ice cream.

Have a nice week

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to
